Using the HoRenSo system to keep in close communication with the Japanese may seem time-consuming, but it will increase their trust in your decision-making ability…by not fixing everything on your own, you actually gain more trust and authority.

I really enjoy reading about the differences in business practices between American/Western countries and Japan. I think you can learn a lot, sort of from a bird's eye point of view, about how the Japanese approach business and utilize some of the successful practices in your own business.

I have to partially disagree that the American approach stems from our pioneering days. It may have once been the reason, but I think--and I'm referring to another of your articles--that since the Japanese basically have job security, they're not afraid to report problems. They know that the problems will not be seen as their responsibility to have fixed. In America, there is no job security, and often managers fault the employee who brings a problem to the table for overt analysis. Believe me, if we all had job security we'd be fearless too!
